WASHINGTON: The United States on Monday branded a Russian far-right group as a foreign terrorist organisation, the first time it has targeted white supremacists with tools regularly used against Islamist extremists.
The measure comes after the State Department in its latest annual terrorism report last November said ethnically and racially driven terrorism had risen alarmingly in 2018 both worldwide and in the United States. Such designations run the risk of being only symbolic if the blacklisted group has minimal financial exposure in the United States.
"The prosecutor who handled their case blamed RIM for radicalising them and providing the training that enabled the attacks," he said.Sales added that Trump administration's efforts to counter 'white supremacist terrorism' abroad will continue.
